>Canadian Forces leaders are very close to their U.S. counterparts and have been pushing for more integration and co-operation between the two militaries
Maybe our military leaders shouldn’t be so close with the military leadership of a nation which is both increasingly authoritarian, and increasingly hostile to Canada.
Canadians have sworn off bourbon and California wine, but a US general can sweet talk an RCAF leader into flying the same expensive toy that they do?
edit: speaking to some ex-RCAF pilots and officers in my life, this is it: they want to fly the same toys their friends do. Doing anything other than buying American will take political will to overrule the air force good old boys‘ club.

This is a truly thoughtless article.
Canada has to be prepared for a world in which the MAGAts lose their grip on power.
If there was a credible alternative to the F-35, Canada would have perused it a decade ago.
In any other circumstance, I would be all for listening to the professionals in the procurement department. In this case, however, I think the fact that the procurement team is obviously too close to one bidder is a serious problem and there are overriding national security considerations. It sounds like the political level need to pierce the bubble of the National Defense procurement department and lay down some rules.
